Susan Falkenrath Obituary

Susan Falkenrath Age 53, died on January 12, 2008 circled by relatives and friends. Susan was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in the Bay Area. She received a B.A. (Music) from San Jose State University in 1982 and a M.A. (Education) from UC Berkeley in 1994. She taught fourth and second grade at Park School in Mill Valley, CA. Susan lived with humor and intense wonder about life for ten years after her diagnosis with breast cancer. Gratefully, she was able to become more true to herself and witness her children become adults. Susan was preceded in death by her brothers John Andrew, Robert, and William Falkenrath. She is survived by her daughter Morgan Green, her son Nicholas Wolf, her parents John Renault and Clara Falkenrath, and the unique songs that she wrote about the environment, sexuality, change, and peace. A private memorial service was held on January 27th, 2008.

Sue was like a sister to our daughter, Lisa, who passed last year, and we always looked at her as a member of our family. We thought she was one of the the bravest and sweetest persons we ever knew. Our hearts go out to John and Clara and to Morgan and Nick. The Falkenraths,including Lisa, are all together now and making beautiful music in heaven.

I consider myself very lucky to have known you and treasure our times together. I will always remember the last thanksgiving at Cindy's house and all the laughter and warmth. Your grace will live on in your music and your children. Your courageous fight the last 10 years inspired us all and will continue to inspire us well into the future.
